Canada has some of the best mountains for skiing as well as the perfect weather for amazing powder. Snow is abundant throughout Canada, so skiers will never have to worry about whether or not they are hitting the slopes filled with the real fluffy stuff while they are skiing in British Columbia. If you're after skiing in the Rocky Mountains, check out my guide to skiing the rockies.
Here are three of my favourite ski resorts in British Columbia:
Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort
Whistler has everything that a skier (or snowboarder) wants, whether it is snow, events, shopping, fine dining, or a gondola ride. Whistler has 8,171 acres of terrain that is perfect for both beginners and experts on the slopes. At the moment, there are fifty-seven trails with twenty-four lifts available to take skiers up to the top of the mountain. The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola is a high-speed chairlift that allows people to go from one mountain to the other with ease all day long.
During the winter months, world class athletes can be seen showing off their skills as they twist and turn through a ring of fire in the fire and ice show. Whistler Village is definitely where the action is off of the slopes and people can be found in the numerous restaurants and small shops at all hours of the day and into the night.
A two-day lift ticket is $214 for adults; however, people can purchase their lift tickets in advance to save some money or they can purchase a ski and stay package for even greater savings.

Panorama Mountain Resort
Panorama has 2,847 acres of terrain that is filled with open fields, snow covered trees and the steep Taynton Bowl. Many beginner skiers will enjoy the numerous wide open runs while the experts will want to head over to Taynton Bowl for some excitement. There are one hundred and twenty named trails and more than half of them are good for intermediate skiers.
There are ten lifts that take people up to the top of the mountain. The resort is similar to a small village and no guest will have to leave the comforts of the resort for any reason during their stay. There are many different restaurants and boutiques and guests can also use any of the hot pools or get an on-mountain massage at any time.
An adult lift ticket is $92, but everyone can save a little bit of money by purchasing their tickets online before they arrive at the resort. For the best lift ticket price, guests are encouraged to book a room at the resort too.
Fernie Alpine Resort
Fernie has 2,500 acres of skiable terrain with 142 trails and 5 alpine bowls. Fernie's is a wonderful place for beginner skiers, because they have an area just for them. There are many restaurants and stores available at Fernie's and guests can even leave their children at the on-site daycare while they are out on the slopes. Anyone who is not too tired in the evening will want to head out for some of the fabulous nightlife that happens near the resort.
An adult lift ticket is $99.95 and multi-day and season passes are available as well. They offer many packages for accommodations and lift tickets, so everyone can save quite a bit of money on those.
Skiing is a wonderful sport where people can spend lots of time with their family and friends. These three ski resorts will make everyone's skiing experience more enjoyable as well as affordable. Everyone can arrive at the resort and spend their entire time there whether they are skiing, snowboarding, shopping, dining, or relaxing in the spa. There is no better way to spend a vacation than this. Remember to book early to take advantage of early bird rates.

Random Writing Quote:
"I was supposed to write a romantic comedy, but my characters broke up."
"I was supposed to write a romantic comedy, but my characters broke up."
REMINDER - Our December meeting begins at 9AM, and starts with breakfast, followed by our speaker. We'll be done by 11:30.
I grew up in the tract home section of La Jolla, California, battling my Irish/Portuguese brother and sisters for respect and the best spot on the couch in front of the TV. I was a sports addict as a kid, but realized early on that I'd never be good enough to turn pro. Or even amateur.
That didn't matter because I knew I wanted to be a writer at the age of twelve when my father gave me The Simple Art of Murder by Raymond Chandler.
Somehow, I smuggled a degree in English out of the University of California, Santa Barbara and decided to write the great American novel. That lasted two months until I realized I needed to eat and I got a job at a restaurant back in La Jolla. After managing the restaurant for years, I sold golf clubs for a decade and then went to work in the sports collectible business.
Thirty years after beginning the great American novel I finished it as a thriller, instead.Yesterday's Echo is the first in the series of Rick Cahill crime novels. I'm currently working on book two in San Diego, where I live with my Yellow Lab, Angus.

This earthy clay looks beautiful alongside natural materials and simple, rustic furniture. Let rich browns dominate the colour palette by introducing a solid oiled oak floor.
Keep the minimalist, linear look intact by concealing a washing machine under the sink, and aviod open shelving so your dinner set stays out of sight. Finally, install lighting under cabinets to eliminate shadows, keeping food preparation spaces bright and inviting.
All Clerkenwell Gloss kitchen frontals have FSC® certification, excluding curved plinths.
† Subject to availability
Choose extra tall wall units for large, uninterupted swathes of colour. Contrast the clay and brown tones with white walls, a white worktop and a gloss white backboard.

I thought it was about time, you got to know a few more, slightly quirky and useless facts about me. I hope you'll enjoy and feel free to comment some random facts about yourself – I would love to get to know you to 🙂
I hate Nutella. I know it's weird, because I normally have a very sweat tooth, but I just can't get Nutella in my mouth. Please tell me I'm not the only one?
I can't do a cartwheel. I don't know whether it's my arms being to weak or my bum holding me down – gravity you know 😉 However I have hyper-mobile joints, which means I can take me leg up behind my neck.
I want to travel the world.
When I was a child every one thought I was a boy, as I always climbed threes, came home muddy and always hang out with the boys instead of playing with my barbie dolls.
I love snow but I hate the cold.
I woke up in a row boat once after a night out – The boat was safely on dry land – and next to me was a pile of vomit and a half eaten hot dog. Charming huh! But on the bright side I've only had a hangover once in my life, that wasn't the day.
I would love to live on a riverboat for a summer.
I'm a sucker for horror movies and my friends and boyfriend think I'm insane for watching them alone, but I mean.. They don't wanna watch them with me.
I believe in true love. And I like romance – but not in movies.
I have an extra bone in my left foot. Apparently 10% of people in Denmark is born with it and it mainly affects girls.
I'm nearly 5'9 but I'm the shortest of my siblings and parents. Viking genes I guess.
I'm ambidextrous.
I like looking at the ocean and staying at the beach, but you'll never see me go into the water. I'm scared of probably all the things in it, it's not because of the water but because of fish and other creatures in it.
If you ask me something, I'll tell the truth even though the answer wont always be popular.
I love the smell of rain on a warm summer day and I always get the urge to go out and dance bare footed in the rain on those days.
I'm still a kid at heart.
My favourite number is 9.
I talk too fast when I get super excited or nervous. I turn red really easily too.
I'm mostly optimistic.
I have a scar on my chin. Which I got first when I was 3 years old falling chin down on a crate, I went to hospital to get i glued. But luck has it I hurt the exact same spot when I was 5 or 6, whilst playing Horse (you know this weird game were one person is horse and one person is the owner..) Well this boy pulled me hair because I didn't want to crawl down to steps of stairs and I fell.. again chin down, and got stitches this time.
My dad wanted to name me Caroline.

I'm in Texas trying to stuff my heritage, family, and friends from high school and college–oh and a few deadlines, too–into a two-week trip. It's been tight. But tonight, I went with my family to "Light Up Arlington!" at the Levitt Pavilion (I'm so so so happy this has been built in my hometown). It's my hometown's Fourth of July Celebration one day early. And what a celebration it was:
6pm: Arlington Community Band (adults reliving their glory days of high school band)
7:30 pm: The Quebe Sisters Band (Three amazing fiddler-sisters with harmonizing my grandmother and I both enjoyed)
9:15 pm: Fastball (The band I liked in high school sounds like a softer version of Brian Jonestown Massacre)
9:45 pm: Fireworks (Go America!)

Wow! What a great Bride & Groom! These two have been such a nice couple to get to work with. The two of them have such big hearts and genuinely care about the lives of everyone they meet. They are a great example of clients seeming like old friends, even at our first meeting. I love the photos that we were able to capture at this wedding. It was an unbelievable event! The ceremony was at First United Methodist Church in Henderson, KY and the reception took place at the River Park Center in Owensboro, just as the sun kissed the horizon. It was to die for! Take a look at the sun glowing through the wall of windows at the reception. I am in love with this blog post. Check out your favorite Evansville Photographers at www.Stewartography.com!

PD-1 Agents Show Promise in Small Cell Lung Cancer
On Saturday, May 30, two abstracts were presented during the Lung Cancer Oral Abstract Session reporting on PD-1 therapies for the treatment of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Discussant Roy S. Herbst, MD, PhD, of Yale School of Medicine, who reviewed the design and results of the two trials, said that immunotherapy with PD-1 agents shows activity in relapsed disease with "impressive responsive rates" and that randomized studies are clearly indicated.
The high-affinity, humanized monoclonal PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab (MK-3475) showed promising antitumor activity in the KEYNOTE-028 trial of patients with heavily pretreated, PD-L1–positive, extensive-stage SCLC. Patrick A. Ott, MD, PhD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, presented the preliminary safety and efficacy results (Abstract 7502).
Trial participants had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1, one or more measurable lesions, PD-L1 positivity, and no autoimmune disease or interstitial lung disease. Patients received 10 mg/kg of intravenous pembrolizumab once every 2 weeks. Response was assessed every 8 weeks for the first 6 months, then every 12 weeks thereafter.
Dr. Ott said the favorable safety and toxicity profile was consistent with previous experience with pembrolizumab in other tumor types. The overall response rate (ORR) to pembrolizumab in antitumor activity was 35% (95% CI [15%, 59%]), and the responses appear durable, with six of seven ongoing at data cutoff. The median time to response was 8.6 weeks (range: 7.7-16.1 weeks); median duration of response was 29.1 weeks (range: 0.1-29.1 weeks). Five of seven patients who had a disease response had reduction in tumor size from baseline of 50% or more, he said.
Six of seven responses occurred after 8 weeks of initiating treatment, and one patient who had stable disease at 8 weeks then had a partial response at 16 weeks.
Treatment-related adverse events affecting two or more patients occurred in 14 patients; two patients had grade 3-5 adverse events, including one case of colitis that resulted in the patient's death. One case of grade 2 autoimmune thyroiditis resulted in treatment interruption.
CheckMate 032
Dr. Scott J. Antonia
Nivolumab is the first and only PD-1 therapy that has demonstrated an overall survival (OS) benefit in patients with previously treated metastatic squamous non–small cell lung cancer, and it was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2015 for this indication.
The CheckMate 032 study included 128 patients with progressive disease after one or more lines of therapy, including a first-line platinum-based regimen, divided into four arms. One arm received 3 mg/kg of intravenous nivolumab every 2 weeks (40 patients), and two arms received 1 mg/kg of intravenous nivolu-mab in combination with either 1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg of intravenous ipilimumab every 3 weeks for four cycles (3 patients and 47 patients, respectively). Data are not yet available from the fourth arm, which included 3 mg/kg of intravenous nivolumab plus 1 mg/kg of intravenous ipilimumab every 3 weeks for four cycles.
Fifteen percent of patients in the arm treated with nivolumab monotherapy had grade 3-4 adverse events; 34% had grade 3-4 adverse events in the arm treated with nivolumab plus the higher dose (3 mg/kg) of ipilimumab. Very few patients discontinued treatment because of treatment-related adverse events. One patient died from treatment-related causes (myasthenia gravis) in the combination arm receiving the higher dose of ipilimumab.
ORR was 18% with nivolumab monotherapy and 17% with nivolumab/ipilimumab. The disease control rate was 38% with monotherapy and 54% with combination therapy. The median OS was 4.4 months with monotherapy (95% CI [2.9, 9.4]) and 8.2 months with combination therapy (95% CI [3.7, not reached]).
The safety profiles of nivolumab monotherapy and nivolumab/ipilimumab are "consistent with what you see with other tumor types and were easily managed with established safety guidelines," Dr. Antonia said, adding that attention must be paid to paraneoplastic syndromes. Three patients had limbic encephalitis; in two cases, this was resolved with immunosuppression.
The response rate and frequency of tumor reduction indicate an increased effect of the combination, and activity was observed in both platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant/refractory disease. Responses occurred regardless of PD-L1 expression. "This was a preliminary analysis because not all of the tumors have been obtained and studied for PD-L1 expression. How this will all sort out in the end is not yet known," Dr. Antonia said.
In his discussion of the trials, Dr. Herbst said that immunotherapy shows activity in relapsed disease with impressive response rates, given that the historical response for platinum-refractory disease is less than 10%.
Randomized trials are clearly indicated and it will be critical to obtain samples for correlative studies, including mutational studies (because of the high mutational burden in this disease) and T-cell analysis. "As always, biology will drive new combinations in this smoking-associated disease," Dr. Herbst concluded.

BASEL, Switzerland, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The life-sustaining activities of our kidneys tend to go unnoticed, until they falter or fail. World Kidney Day (http://www.worldkidneyday.org) on March 13th seeks to address this knowledge gap and to boost public awareness of how vital kidney health is to the well-being of the body. As a sponsor of World Kidney Day, Roche has created two interactive web-based tools on the campaign website to help spread this year's health message about the 'Amazing Kidneys'. A cartoon animation "The Amazing Kidnerellis!" and an e-greetings card are designed to be informative and fun.
"We know that people are more receptive to health information when they hear it from family and friends, so we are very pleased that Roche has created the e-greeting card to be able to reach the community with a public health message that may prompt people to check their risk factors for chronic kidney disease," said Philip Springuel, Project Director of World Kidney Day.
World Kidney Day (WKD) is a joint initiative of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF). It is a worldwide effort to make more people aware of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which, if detected early, can be treated so reducing other potentially life threatening health complications. Roche is a founding sponsor of WKD. The World Kidney Day message is simple "kidney disease is common, harmful and treatable". Early detection and prevention means that kidney disease can be better managed and even curtailed.
The animation, set in a circus big top, introduces 'Luigi & Rocco' - "The Amazing Kidnerellis!" These characters perform circus style acts which help illustrate the important and amazing functions of the kidneys. Descriptive text accompanying their activities will be available in English, Italian, German, Spanish and French. Visitors to the site can also send a personalised 'Amazing Kidneys!' e-greeting card to family, friends and colleagues (http://www.worldkidneyday.org/eCard/eCard.php) to spread the World Kidney Day message globally.
"Roche hopes its ongoing support of World Kidney Day will raise awareness of CKD as a global health issue," said Luke Miels, Strategic Marketing Head, Metabolism & Anaemia at Roche. "The resources we created are intended to help accomplish this goal."
Many people do not know, for example that one of the amazing acts our two fist-sized kidneys perform everyday is to remove waste and balance the fluids and minerals in the body. The kidneys do this by filtering a massive 200 litres of blood (more than 1,000 cups of tea or coffee) and extracting two litres of waste and excess water per day. In addition, the kidneys produce essential hormones which drive key functions such as control of blood pressure and the production of red blood cells. The body needs red blood cells to deliver oxygen to tissues and organs so that they can work properly.
When kidney function declines chronic kidney disease (CKD) develops and the kidneys can no longer perform their amazing acts. CKD almost always leads to complications such as cardiovascular disease and anaemia. The prevalence of CKD is increasing; a recent study showed that the rate has jumped from one in every 10 adults to about one in every 7 to 8(1). Experts believe that this figure is likely to rise even more due to high obesity rates since obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure are all risk factors for CKD(2).

The Model Parents
Tony Almeida was Lindsay Lohan's bodyguard from 2002 – 2005 and is graciously dishing on his former charge after what had to be a rather enticing offer from In Touch Magazine. But still…even though the story has been procured by a paycheque, it's hard to deny its validity: Tony says the Lohans sucked ass as parents. And that Lindsay's troubles have everything to do with how she was raised. Shocker.
First Michael Lohan – model father. While driving with Lindsay, she was 16 at the time, he lost his sh-t, "slammed on the brakes and dragged her out of the car, pushed her up against the hood, screamed at her and called her a slut. This was on the Long Island Expressway!"
Not surprisingly, Dina (allegedly also an alcoholic) cared only about the lifestyle – a lifestyle she maintained so long as her child kept working even if it meant hard boozing and sexual experimentation in her own home, even when Lindsay wanted to take a break:
"(Dina) let her do whatever she wanted, just to keep her happy and working . . . Lindsay drank whatever she wanted - I saw her drinking beer and mixed drinks with my own eyes [without Dina"s intervention]. Lindsay was the family cash cow - and she resented it. They counted on her to pay their bills . . . I saw Lindsay exhausted, begging her mother for some time off."
And the worst part – Lindsay was only Dina's first go. That bitch has 3 more children, including the 13 year old photo-friendly Ali Lohan. 3 more opportunities to keep on going, 3 more to ruin.
Can't wait.

Dan Le Batard went off yesterday on the management at his local radio station 790 the Ticket in Miami during the end of his show's local hour. The diatribe was the result of Le Batard being upset with station officials who wanted him to not to talk about a story in the Miami Herald about a local woman who is heading to prison for an illegal penis surgery that left a man with "mangled" private parts. Le Batard's show had interviewed the author of the story in the previous segment.
Le Batard said "We've got someone locally already doing what Mike was fearing nationally, which is threatening to yank us off the air if we play it. Nothing matters to me more than you don't control what comes out of my mouth. And we've got someone going crazy locally saying they're gonna yank us off the air if we continue to talk about this, and what I'm telling you right now is fire me. Not only never do that again but fire me now if you want to control me that way."
"I don't want to get up at 9 o'clock in the morning. I'm doing this for Miami and I'm doing this for 790 the Ticket. Yank me off the air now. Fire me now. Cancel my contract. You can have your money and you can have your 9 o'clock hour and I can get my sleep because this is infuriating. This isn't even happening nationally, this is happening locally. You do not control what comes out of my mouth. You're threatening to take me off the air because I'm talking about a story that was in the Miami Herald? Man, get the hell out of here."
"This is what my parents fled. You will not control this. No you will not. Money doesn't matter to me. I don't want to be up at this hour and now you're saying you're gonna control what I say at this hour when I'm doing it for you? I'm doing it from 9 to 10 for you, so that you can have our show. I did this show for free locally because of how much Miami matters to me. You have to be bleeping kidding."
Le Batard didn't appear today on his show but that was due to a scheduled absence to attend Pablo Torre's wedding. Whether or not he appears on Monday remains to be seen.

i got this swim suit from SHADE
black is supposed to be slimming, right? lets hope so.
next, we went here.
hannah got the first one and i settled for the second.
yeah. i wish. maybe next time.
while i was on diaper duty, hannah checked out Brighton. i love their jewelry. take a peek.
on our way to dinner we made a quick detour in the Animal Kingdom Pet Store. who isn't distracted by cute little wagging tails?
dinner was incredible. the Cheesecake Factory never disappoints. try the Spicy Chicken Chipotle Pasta. yum. i already ate the leftovers for lunch today. and of course we didn't have room for dessert - so we got it to go. here's what we ended up with: fresh banana cream cheesecake, lemon raspberry cream cheesecake, and chocolate coconut cream cheesecake. delish!
lastly, we headed over to this place so hannah could marvel at it's immenseness while checking out stuff for the dorms next fall.
we got home after hours and hours of shoppng, only to find madison in bed (grace went with us) and our babysitter doing the dishes. this is what she said to me, "why don't you just sit down and relax while i finish these."
i kid you not! believe me, she got a tip for that one!
hannah and i finished the night with this cute movie. although i had forgotten a few questionable parts. darn it. and i can't remember the last time i watched a VHS.
what a day.
{*just to clarify: hannah didn't actually buy a coach purse.
we both wished. in case there was any confusion!}

An infamous local felon has been indicted in a federal heroin trafficking conspiracy that has again put his most notorious exploit at the center of the case.
Matthew Davis, 46, the scion of a wealthy family who has made as much as $8,000 a month from a family trust fund, was convicted of abandoning his girlfriend's corpse after she died of a drug overdose in 2004.
The new federal court case seeks to use the death of the girlfriend, Amber McGathey, 22, to potentially get life sentences against eight people, including Davis, charged with conspiracy to distribute heroin, according to federal court records.
The conspiracy purportedly provided the heroin that killed McGathey, the charges allege. That opened the possibility of life sentences for everyone convicted in the conspiracy and a mandatory life sentence for any already convicted of a drug felony.
According to Kansas corrections records, Davis was convicted of a federal drug felony in 1986.
McGathey's father, Boyd McGathey, called the new charges against Davis good news.
"I'm encouraged there's hope for justice yet for my daughter," Boyd McGathey said. "She's dead, and he's the only one who knows how she died. It could lead to him being accountable for her death."
Amber McGathey died after she and Davis had been using drugs in his apartment, according to evidence presented in both civil and criminal cases. After putting the body in a sport utility vehicle, Davis at one point drove the vehicle while he went out with another woman with the body in the back.
The body was found later after it had decomposed for days.
Davis initially was sentenced to 22 years in that case, seven years for abandoning a corpse and 15 years for three counts of possession of a controlled substance. A judge later set aside those convictions amid allegations of prosecutorial misconduct. Davis was convicted again but was sentenced to four years, about a year less than he already had served.
In an unusual civil lawsuit, a Jackson County jury found that Davis should pay his girlfriend's family $500,000 for mistreating a corpse.
Since his release in the corpse abandonment case, Davis has continued to brush against the law.
In 2010, he was convicted of driving while intoxicated.
And last year a Kansas judge sentenced Davis to 39 months in prison for almost running over a police officer in a dine-and-dash getaway.
Davis reportedly sped away from an Olathe restaurant, carrying a bucket of beer for which he had not paid. He drove to a house in Olathe, where he later surrendered after a standoff that lasted for hours.
Though Davis' role is critical to the penalty aspects of the new federal case, he is not the lead defendant. That distinction goes to Timothy M. Kirlin, 32, who prosecutors contend is a large-scale heroin trafficker who has been under intense investigation for years.
Kirlin has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Davis, who is incarcerated in a Kansas prison, has not made his initial appearance.
His lawyer, Pat Peters, declined Friday to comment on the new case.
Prosecutors initially charged Kirlin in February but last month issued new charges that included Davis. A Kansas City federal judge unsealed those charges last week.

There has been spying and the rumor is going strong churning out exciting info about 2017 Buick Lacrosse, the luxury sedan! This large-sized sedan will be capped with a dramatic style, offering a visual treat. This redesigned vehicle is expected to come with better design, more features and improved specifications.
2017 Buick Lacrosse Redesign Exterior and Interior
Rumors are rife about Buick using Omega platform, which happens to be a version of upcoming Cadillac LTS flagships. This will enable in churning out a rear-wheel-drive model! However, stronger sources say that will be a sculpted car with leaner appearance, multi-spoke wheels, fresh color scheme, redesigned lights in both front and back to make it sharper and futuristic. Front grille of 2017 Buick Lacrosse will be bigger and the roof will have a design quite similar to that of Audi A7.
If you are looking for jazzed up interiors, strewn in with entertainment, 2017 Buick Lacrosse will have many amazing features, such as high end audio system, backup camera, external crash sensors, advanced navigation facility, Bose audio system with eleven speakers. You can also find WiFi hotspot, automatic dual-zone climate control, remote operated start feature, lane departure warning, head up display, forward collision warning, 360 degree visibility etc. It will have more multimedia features and greater space in the boot compartment. Basically, there will not be any dearth of entertainment or safety features in this car. All seats in this car would be wrapped in black leather upholstery which would be elastic, durable and strong.
2017 Buick Lacrosse Engine and Transmission
This redesigned vehicle will draw its power from a V6 engine with 3.6 L capacity. This sporty car will be able to offer over 304 hp of peak power. There are some rumors that it might actually be fitted with a 2.4 L engine with an ability to generate a maximum power of 182 hp. None of this is confirmed at this moment. Its 3.6 L engine might be paired with a 9 speed AMT gearbox. If it comes with a 2.4 L engine, it is likely to be coupled with a six speed auto-manual gearbox. Presence of automatic transmission is expected to make this a more fuel-efficient vehicle for buyers.
2017 Buick Lacrosse fuel efficiency will be about 18 – 26 mpg on the city roads and a maximum of 37 mpg on the highways for all hybrid versions. This will undoubtedly be good news for people who wish to reduce their fuel expenses.
2017 Buick Lacrosse Price and Release Date
Buick is an international luxury brand that comes up with vehicles which woos car freaks like crazy. This company has not revealed any information about this car's official price tag. However, it is expected that the cost of upcoming vehicle would be in the range of 33,987 to 40,488 USD. Just like Lacrosse's price, there has been no official announcement about when this vehicle would be launched. However, there is speculation that the 2017 Buick Lacrosse would be available for purchase sometime about September – October 2016. Its mass production is anticipated to begin during summer.

Practicing live-bait fishing develops a person's good sportsmanship and perseverance. Basically, fly fishing is a fast growing sport. It is also classified as a form of recreation as well as a means to preserve natural resources. I recently spent some time doing an ATV tour near Zion where we rode around to see a lot of things that are stunning in their beauty and breathtaking in their grandeur. It was also on this trip where we spent some doing some fly fishing. I was taught the techniques and now I understand why people love it so much. What a fantastic sport to be out there in the wild trying to reel in the big one.
Fly fishing is very simple when these three things are done right: You must have the appropriate bars; must match the line, and must learn the correct casting technique.
Photo Credit:USFWS Mountain-Prairie
Below are some some pointers to help those who want to learn more about fly-fishing, which can also harness their fly-fishing skills:
1. Material sticks. It is reasonable to have one, especially for beginners. The hollow glass will require observance because bamboo requires less care than this and will not catch fishes if improperly handled.
2. Line. Your fly casting technique and the line, when it does not match the rod, will not be a success. 99 out of 100 unsuccessful attempts is because of the flight. The problem is that it is sometimes too bright. It is important to know about the fly rod. Fishermen have the same size of line. Choose the right size of the line, fishing a little at c-level, hch double-loss, or gbf 3 is the diameter. Fly rods bought nowadays are based on clear glass. The great majority of these works with the best line size, length or weight.
3. Correct casting technique. In the cast, it is important to get the front 20 meters of the line. The best anglers avoid having painful muscles. The body should be relaxed upon casting.
All in all, just to enjoy fly fishing. It is probably the best and surest way to learn. Spend a day multi-casting in the stream to be successful.

Explore the most popular trails near Midwest City with hand-curated trail maps and driving directions as well as detailed reviews and photos from hikers, campers and nature lovers like you.
Great trail! Wish it were longer. Im a beginner at mt biking. The 'hard' trail is not too difficult, man made dirt bumps, like a motocross track in a way. Had to dismount going over the tree log to the 'easy' trail as my pedals always get caught lol
I love this trail. This is a great trail to ride on weeknights.
I really enjoyed hiking this trail. It is beautiful :)
My kids and I really enjoy these trails! They are not usually very busy. You have to cross a big field and it is always brutally windy every time we go. But it's nice once you get to the trees. There is quite a bit of trash though that collects in the rivers, probably carried from all the wind, but still unfortunate to see.
Good walk and run spot, but best for biking.
Very windy today, but better once you get into the trees. Nice forest section. Saw no one else hiking or biking while we were there, but it was a weekday.
Pretty fun rode all the trails except the hardest. Sad to see so much trash in the creek bed. Saw some deer, took about an hour to ride through all of it.
It was very strange at first. It's located right off of a highway so theres some traffic noise from that, the trailhead leads you into a field where you go stomp around for a bit.. once you get to the wooded area it is very nice. No one was there besides me, which I find odd on a Saturday morning but it was so nice. The blue loop was very enjoyable, my dog and I saw about 4 deer throughout that area. It just rained last night so the trail was a bit muddy, but only bad in a handful of places. I will definitely be back! :)
Nice wide and well marked trail system. I did White Trail, Blue Trail and Green Trail. Trails are for hiking and biking. The difficulty marked on trail signs I believe are for biking, as I found hiking the trails as easy to moderate (in a few spots), mostly fairly easy.
SCIP Recreational Trail in Midwest City just opened recently. It is fairly short, being a total of approximately 2.8 miles, but it is laid out well and the loops can be ridden repeatedly for a longer ride. The White trail is a circle that can be ridden in either direction, very flat in the open with no shade. This ties in to the Green trail which is .5 miles that is mostly wooded with some minor obstacles. There is a gravel road that connects the Green to the Blue which is 1.4 miles, again mostly wooded. The obstacles on Blue are a bit more challenging, but still rather easy. The Black trail is a short wooded .3 miles within the Blue trail. There are moderate obstacles and numerous jumps built in.
Overall, it is a fairly simple trail, but can be a lot of fun. Most of the obstacles cut across gullies or are man-made jumps. The trails are very new, so are quite bumpy. Blue has one long, slow climb along side the Black trail, otherwise there is very little elevation change.
My 7-year old grandson and I spent several hours riding and had a great time. This was his first time riding in the woods and it was a very positive experience for him.

Ever since the release of their sophomore album, aptly entitled Cave Rave, tribal pop aficionados Crystal Fighters has been getting the party started, and to prove this is still the case, the band are releasing album stand-out 'LA Calling' on 30 September. The track is backed by a stonking remix by Parisian/NY based deck destroyer Curses. The reworking takes all the visceral, primal elements of the original and places them within the context of a dark 90s electro landscape.
Curses says this of the remix: "Being a fan and friend of the band for years, doing this dark twist of a remix on such a blissful talent was an adventure in the land of house."
So there you have it. If you want to spend the next 6+ minutes gyrating and pulsating around, you could do a lot worse than listen to Crystal Fighters 'LA Calling (Curses Remix) below.
… and if you were wondering what the original sounds like, here it is:

There were coaches who interviewed for the False River Academy football job who had a lot more experience than Matthew Edwards.
Apparently, none made a better impression.
Edwards was hired Thursday as the District 5-1A school's new football coach. Friday was his first official day on the job.
Edwards, 28, replaces Brad Bass, who left FRA last month to become the new head baseball coach at Catholic High in Baton Rouge.
"He came across as very energetic and positive and really wanted the opportunity to be a head coach," said Tara Shamsie, False River Academy's athletic director and softball coach.
"He said all the right things in the interview, and we feel he will do a real good job. He's willing to learn and better himself and do what it takes to be a good coach."
Edwards goes to FRA after serving on the Central High football staff as assistant defensive line coach and freshman football defensive coordinator. He also taught classes at Central Middle School.
Edwards is the cousin of Central athletic director and long-time prep football coach Sid Edwards.
"It's been a whirlwind," Matthew Edwards said of his hiring. "It was essentially a one-day process. I applied and interviewed the very next day. They went through some other interviews and called me to come back in as one of the finalists. I was excited just to get to that point.
"I met with them again, and I came out on the great end of everything."
Edwards said he will meet with his players Wednesday for the first time then put his own spin on their ongoing summer conditioning program with some extra conditioning work.
As for his coaching philosophy, Edwards said: "I believe winning is a byproduct of a coach taking care of his kids. You take care of the kids and everything tends to work itself out."
Edwards also will serve as assistant baseball coach.

Kids and School
A Struggle, but Worth It.
There are 1.3 to 1.6 Million homeless kids on the streets of
America in an average year. It is not uncommon for many of these kids to
go to school while living in cars, vans, in encampments, shelters, motels,
hotels or with relatives while their parents (usually a single parent mom) are
toughening it out with no stable place to call home. Often they do
live with that parent in conditions far less than desirable, but homeless
For the most part, homeless kids have at least
one shepherding parent and the entire family is homeless.
According to state departments of education across the country, 35% of homeless
children lived in shelters, 34% were in group situations with family or
friends, and 23% were in motels or other places in 2000. Thankfully,
these youngsters are guaranteed an education by this country, the good old
What is Homeless Kids applies to all children and youth
who do not have a fixed, regular and adequate residence, including children and
youth who are: staying with friends or relatives because they lost their
housing; awaiting foster placement; or living in emergency or transitional
shelters, motels, domestic violence shelters, campgrounds, inadequate trailer
parks, cars, public spaces, abandoned buildings and bus/train stations.
*Florida has nearly 50,000 children who are currently homeless, according to the report; of those, almost 21,000 are under age 6.
Student Hygiene Packs
Good hygiene is an
important part of a student's health, wellness, and self-esteem. Kids with poor
hygiene face harmful consequences. Some are medical: they may be more prone to
developing rashes and infections. But equally important, individual students
may quickly become known at school for being "dirty." This negative reputation
can be hard to shake and is damaging to students' self-esteem. Good hygiene
makes it easier to attend school regularly and develops better study habits.
Did You Know?
• According to the US
Census, now over 1 in 5 children are living in poverty in the United States.
• In 2011, the number
of Americans receiving food stamps hit an all-time high at 46.2 million people
– almost 15% of the country!
• Food stamps cannot
be used to buy soap, shampoo, or other basic household supplies necessary for
good hygiene and healthy children.
• Children often do
not have the basic personal care items that they need to feel confident and
successful at school.
Wondering how you can
help? Gather your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors to collect personal
hygiene items for kids in need. Bring the donations to a place in your
community that helps kids such as a food shelf, a social worker, a shelter or
even a local school! Then, take a quick moment to stop by the
